“…Although meeting culture has been intimated in a few different articles and books (e.g., Allen et al, 2015;Meinecke et al, 2020), the closest construct to the notion of meeting culture that has received empirical attention is meeting orientation. We assume that all organizations have meeting cultures, but not all organizations have meeting orientations, an index of an organization's policies, procedures, and practices that emphasize, promote, or lead to meetings (Hansen & Allen, 2015).…”

Although research on meetings generally regards them as noteworthy organizational events, studies tend to focus on an individual or group level of analysis, conceiving of meetings as a phenomenon that happens in organizations but does not shape them. Integrating research on work meetings, structuration theory, and organizational culture, this paper develops the concept of organizational meeting cultures and suggests structuration theory as a framework for explaining their emergence, reproduction, and alteration. We propose a model of organizational meeting culture that theorizes work meetings as a foundational activity that shapes and reifies organizational cultures over time, contributing to their distinctiveness, and influencing patterns of perception regarding what is valued, expected, rewarded, and supported in specific work environments. It concludes with an agenda to be pursued in future research on the structuration of meeting culture. Plain Language Summary Although research on meetings seems to assume they are an important element of organizational life, studies tend to focus on an individual or group level of analysis, which results in theories that only construe meetings as a group phenomenon that happens in organizations but does not constitute them. We propose a model of organizational meeting culture that portrays work meetings as a foundational activity that doesn't just happen to occur within “already organized organizations” but instead also shapes organizational cultures over time, influencing their distinctiveness, shared views of what is valued, expected, rewarded and supported in specific work environments. Integrating research on meetings, structuration theory, and organizational culture, this paper develops the concept of meeting culture and proposes structuration theory as a way to explain how meeting cultures emerge, are sustained, and changed. It concludes with suggestions for future research.

“…The genre-based focus of this case study centers on the medium of blogs. Blogs are used as an educational technology tool and have been used in a variety of disciplines and contexts to enhance student learning and offer real-world application of assignments (Meinecke et al, 2013;Reinhardt, 2019). After deconstructing the genre of blogs and discussing the connection between visuals, aural contributions, the written word, and various rhetorical decisions students face when creating digital compositions, students draft a storyline about Marion Kent (see case study in Appendix C) and her experience of living in a Schimmelwohnung in Bremen.…”

Sustainability and environmental justice are connected concepts; however, environmental justice serves as a foundation to an approach to sustainability that moves beyond conservation and preservation of resources for current and future generations to explore issues of equity in terms of access to resources and protection from environmental hazards. Examining environmental conditions for communities from an environmental justice lens uncovers disparities that suggest connections between lower socioeconomic status and exposure to environmental issues. This article addresses the need to integrate environmental justice across the German curriculum and demonstrates a case study approach for intermediate‐ and advanced‐level German classes. The first case study presents an Instagram job application for environmental justice projects in Berlin‐Neukölln, and the second case study deals with a blog about Schimmelwohnungen or apartments with mold in the city of Bremen. This article illustrates how case studies can be embedded in both a genre‐based approach and how case studies on environmental justice can be integrated in courses across the German curriculum.

“…First, the large majority of the studies describe either a single teaching approach, or approaches developed by a single instructor or institution, and most of them were conducted in a western context. Teaching approaches and classroom activities that have been suggested by these studies included peer feedback, spoken or written narratives, learner portfolios and role play (Gómez Rodríguez, 2014; Hidalgo Downing, 2012; Kramsch & Zhu, 2016; Lee, 2017); and a number of computer-mediated teaching approaches were also introduced, such as blogs, simultaneous on-line class and on-line forums (Meinecke, Smith, & Lehmann-Willenbrock, 2013; Yang, 2015; YoonHee, 2011). Second, there are also a small proportion of evaluative studies that assessed the effectiveness of intercultural teaching approaches, and both quantitative and qualitative enquiries can be found (Chao, 2013; Eliyahu-Levi & Ganz-Meishar, 2020; Grimminger-Seidensticker & Möhwald, 2020).…”

Integrating intercultural competence in foreign language classrooms has been emphasized in China, yet scant explicit guidance currently exists on how to teach intercultural competence in college English courses. This study aimed at comparing and contrasting intercultural pedagogical approaches used by instructors in English courses for non-English majors, as well as teaching feedback provided by students enrolled in such courses. This study applied a sequential exploratory mixed research design. Methods such as face-to-face interviews and teaching and learning related document analyses were utilized to collect data, and generated qualitative and quantitative data. Three-dimensional meta themes emerged in mixed analysis, categorizing pedagogical approaches and teaching styles of individual instructors. Student feedback revealed learning experiences and difficulties of the teaching approaches.
